Macau!

I loved Macau!

Too tired to get into all the details but the Turbo Jet ride over was fun; the simple egg-and-tomato sandwich with milk tea lunch was perfect; and the two films we saw at the Cinema Alergia were not bad: Kungfu Cyborg: Metallic Attraction was two-thirds fun and a third tedious and On Her Majesty's Secret Service was exactly the sort of HK throwback fun flick I needed to see -- even if I had to see it in Macau!

About Me

I write about stuff I like.
Born in Washington, D.C., in 1967, I spent most of my life in Maryland before I moved to Hong Kong at the very end of 2011. I worked in Kowloon, and lived on Lamma Island, for nearly 3 years, and then I moved back to Maryland with my wife at the end of August 2014. When I was younger, I worked in 3 record stores in College Park, Maryland, from 1987 to 1990 and those jobs gave me a lot of joy, as well as a musical education. I was once a huge fan of the cinema of Hong Kong, especially Shaw Brothers titles. An Anglophile, I still gravitate to British films and music. My youth was spent on Marvel comics, and Starlog and Famous Monsters magazines; Universal and Hammer horror movies; the work of Ray Harryhausen; classic American films of the 1930s; Hanna-Barbera cartoons; music from the glory days of American AM radio; lousy TV reruns; Mego toys; and Godzilla flicks...
